"Allowing prayer in public does not mean they pray out loud, which you seem to believe by saying that "people (are) forced to listen". At least if you are referring to allowing prayers in school." I'm defining prayer as public whether it's aloud or silent if it requires that the public is forced to participate actively or inactively. There is no law saying you can't pray in public or in school. You've heard the line,"there will always be prayer in public schools as long as there are tests." My question is why does prayer need public participation to be effective?
